For burns and scalds nothing is mort
soothing than the white of an egg
which may be poured over the wound
1t is softer as a varnish than collodion
and, being always at hand, can be APP
piled quicker. II is also more cooling
than sweet oil and cotton, which was
formerly supposed 10 be the surest APP
plication to allay smarting pain. 1t Is
the contact with the air which gives
the extreme discomfort experienced
from the ordinary accident of this
kind, and anything that excludes the
air and prevents Inflammation is the
thing 10 be at once applied.
The egg is considered one OF the hest
of remedies for dysentery. Beaten up
slightly. with or without sugar, and
swallowed with a gulp, it tends, by its
emollient qualities, 10 lessen the in
flammatiOn of the stomach and intes-
tines, and, by forming a transient coat
ing on these organs, to enable Nature
to resume her healthful sway over a
diseased body. Two. or at most three,
eggs per day would be all that is re-
quired in ordinary cases; and since the
egg is not merely medicine. but food
as well, the lighter the diet otherwise
and the quieter the patient is kept,
the more certain and rapid will be the
recovery

How To MAKE HONE ATTRACTIVE
Keep the house clean. Cleanliness is
next to goodness. A clean home
makes its inmates clean. Outward
cleanliness is the symbol of inward
purity. Make your rooms bright and
CHEEKY and not too nice for the boys
and girls to enjoy. II you cannot
afford expensive pictures, buy cheap
ones that are bright, pretty and in
good taste. Beautify the home and
thus beautify the childhood of your
sons and daughters. Train them to
help You in your tasks. Divide with
them the toll, and they viii double the
pleasures of your home. If child
shows ability or talent in any direc-
ton, allow him to cultivate it. En-
courage and praise his efforts. Let
him know he is appreciated, and that
his plans and purposes are matters of
vital interest to his parents. Teach
your children TO control their tempers
by controlling your own. Lastly,
don't fret.

WHEAT CR0P OF THE wORLD IN
1876.

From the report of the Department
Of Agriculture for March we take the
following:
In the following table the figures for
Austria Hungary, France, Great Brit
ain and Ireland, Italy, Russia. Except
POiand1 and India, as well as those for
the United States, are official; but only
those last named and those for Great
Britain and Ireland are the final esti-
mates, unless those for India may be
so considered. In the figures for Can
ada are included the official returns for
Ontario and an estimate for Manitoba
based on the official estimate of the
area and rate Of yield These two
provinces produce nearly nine-tenths
OF the wheat crop Of the Dominion.
The figures for Australasia are official
with the exception of those Of South
Australia, which are from the Adelaide
Observer. The countries named thus
far furnish about four-ffths OF the total
product embraced in the table.
For the countries credited with the
remaining one-fifth the figures are I'M
official; all except those for Germany
being taken from a table published
in the Echo Agrieole Of September 7.
1856.
The countries not included in the
table are for the most part countries in
which wheat holds a very subordinate
position among the staple food pro-
ducts and which have no appreciable
influence upon the general wheat trade
of the world.

To meet these expenses the farmer

make his head save his heels. Regu-
